Easy to do. No problems, works fine - all for £6.

Thank you. Please could you tell ne the difference between pro retail and home OEM. Would you know which is the best to download . Just need it for basic stuff etc.

Retail means you can transfer to another machine in the future. OEM means it will be linked to the motherboard of your laptop and is non transferable (it is usually cheaper).
